TO 

His  EXCELLENCY,  JULES  J.  JUSSEBAND, 

Ambassador  of  France  to  the  United  States, 

who  for  a  score  of  years  has  fostered  and  cemented 

the  friendship  between  these  Republics, 

THIS  WORK — 

A  Roll  of  Honor  for  the  United  States 

and  a  Record   of  Appreciation  from   France — 

is  affectionately  dedicated 

by   the   compiler. 


URING  the  Revolution  in  France,  the  exist- 
ence of  outward  marks  of  distinction  was 
forgotten.  Nobility  was  suppressed  by  the 
decrees  of  June  19,  1790,  but  provision  was 
made  for  bestowing  some  token  upon  all  who  had 
assisted  in  the  overthrow  of  the  Bastile.  The  diffi- 
culties that  attended  the  conferring  of  the  "brevet" 
were  so  great  that  it  was  realized  that  safety  lay 
in  the  abolition  of  all  decorations.  This  was 
accomplished  by  the  laws  of  July  30,  1791,  and  July 
28,  1793. 

The  first  suggestion  of  a  "national  order  which 
should  cause  all  distinctions  of  birth  to  be  forgotten" 
was  made  on  December  15,  1791,  when  it  was  pro- 
posed to  confer  some  sort  of  honor  upon  soldiers 
for  gallant  conduct.  This  soon  bore  fruit  in  special 
acts  of  the  convention  providing  crowns  of  laurel 
or  of  oak  for  heroes  of  battle  and  even  a  proposition 
to  create  rules  for  the  "recognition  of  merit  and 
reward  therefor." 

During  the  First  Consulate,  the  Senate  prepared 
a  list  of  "notables"  or  "eligibles"  who  could  be  called 
upon  for  any  service  the  government  might  demand. 
This  list  did  not  meet  with  the  approval  of  Napoleon, 
and,  it  is  believed,  he  sought  to  counteract  the  polit- 
ical complexion  of  it  by  preparing  an  independent 
list  to  which  should  be  given  the  name  "Legion 
d'Honneur." 

The  first  intimation  of  this  purpose  was  made 
early  in  May,  1802.  The  Act  was  placed  before  the 
Council  of  State  for  discussion  on  May  4,  was  passed 
on  to  the  "Corps  legislatif"  on  May  14  without  hav- 
ing received  the  sanction  of  the  Council  and  after 
five  hours'  discussion  it  was  adopted  by  the  "Corps 


10  AMERICAN  LEGIONNAIRES 

legislatif '  on  May  19,  the  "Tribunal"  in  the  mean- 
time having  acted  favorably  upon  the  proposition. 
It  was  finally  promulgated  as  a  law  on  June  3. 

Up  to  this  time,  no  mention  had  been  made  of  a 
visible  and  outward  sign  of  membership  in  the  Legion. 
A  simple  decree  on  July  10,  1803,  prescribed  the  shape 
and  colors  of  the  insignia.  This  was  changed  in 
1816,  1830,  1851,  1852  and  1870. 

Napoleon  decreed  March  1,  1808,  that  all  members 
of  the  Legion  should  have  the  title  of  Chevalier  and 
that  the  title  should  be  transmitted  from  father  to 
son. 

The  first  ceremony  of  investiture  was  held  on  July 
14,  1804. 

The  promises  regarding  equality  and  heredity  had 
been  violated  in  the  final  ordinances  of  the  Legion 
of  Honor.  Consequently  the  bestowal  of  the  insignia 
was  met  with  varying  degrees  of  approval.  Marshal 
Augerau  refused  to  come  forward  when  his  name 
was  called,  Lemercier  and  Truguet  returned  their 
diplomas,  Rochambeau  and  LaFayette  refused  to 
accept  the  honor  and  others  sought  to  conceal  the 
"emblem  of  the  vanity  of  a  courtier."  Some  persons, 
out  of  sympathy  with  the  new  regime,  sought  to  bring 
this  decoration  into  ridicule  by  creating  mock  deco- 
rations which  they  gave  to  the  rabble  to  wear.  But 
such  care  had  been  exercised  in  the  selection  of  per- 
sons for  admission  into  the  Legion  that  at  the  second 
distribution  there  were  no  refusals. 

The  original  purpose  of  the  Order  can  best  be 
learned  from  Napoleon's  own  words :  "I  challenge 
anyone  to  show  me  a  republic,  ancient  or  modern, 
in  which  there  were  no  distinctions.  You  may  call 
them  playthings,  but  men  are  led  by  playthings.  I 
should  not  say  this,  perhaps,  in  the  Council  Cham- 
ber, but  in  the  presence  of  men  of  wisdom,  such 
things  should  be  spoken.  I  do  not  believe  that  the 
French  people  love  liberty  and  equality ;  the  French 
have  not  been  changed  by  ten  years  of  revolution ; 
they  are  Gauls  as  of  old — proud  and  light-hearted, 


OF  FRANCE  11 

having  one  pre-eminent  virtue — honor.  This  virtue 
should  be  nourished  and  upon  it  some  distinction 
should  be  conferred.  You  see  how  our  people  pros- 
trate themselves  before  foreign  decorations ;  some 
wear  them,  while  others  look  upon  this  with  sur- 
prise. Voltaire  has  called  our  soldiers  Alexanders  at 
five  sous  a,  day.  He  was  right.  Do  you  suppose  that 
men  can  be  induced  to  go  to  war  by  analytical  rea- 
soning? Never!  It  might  be  efficacious  for  the 
scholar  in  his  study.  To  the  soldier  must  be  offered 
glory,  honor,  reward.  If  honors  are  given  to  sol- 
diers only,  the  nation  would  cease  to  exist.  If,  on 
the  other  hand,  all  professions  should  be  included, 
the  soldier  not  knowing  how  to  read  or  write,  would 
be  proud  to  have  as  a  reward  for  the  blood  he  shed 
the  same  decoration  that  is  worn  by  men  of  great 
scholarship,  while  the  latter,  on  their  part,  would 
esteem  more  highly  the  recompense  for  their  labors 
when  they  see  it  is  the  reward  of  bravery.  Some 
officers  may  object  to  seeing  their  decorations  worn 
by  a  priest,  judge,  author,  artist  or  a  simple  soldier. 
But  why?  Is  courage  not  always  courage,  and  is 
blood  not  always  blood?" 

And  although  the  great  emperor  forgot  his  earlier 
plea  for  democracy  in  honors  and  instituted  orders 
that  were  intensely  aristocratic,  the  Legion  d'Hon- 
neur  which  he  called  into  existence  is  now  by  far 
the  most  democratic  institution  amongst  men.  No 
antecedent  qualifications  are  demanded ;  the  single 
condition  that  must  be  met  is  superiority.  Superior 
service ;  superior  talent ;  superior  achievements.  No 
limit  is  placed  on  the  character  of  service,  the  sort 
of  talent  nor  the  nature  of  the  achievements  beyond 
the  requirement  that,  in  some  field  they  count  for 
the  betterment  of  France,  the  welfare  of  a  people 
or  the  uplift  of  mankind. 

Coming  into  existence  amidst  the  clamors  for  equal- 
ity it  greets  all  men  equal  in  the  contest  for  its 
acquisition  and,  having  celebrated  its  centennial  at 
the  same  time  when  men,  by  their  own  efforts  have 


12  AMERICAN   LEGIONNAIRES 

been  set  apart  in  classes,  it  can  most  fittingly  reward 
one  with  a  cross  and  another  with  the  more  modest 
knot  of  ribbon. 

Looking  over  this  institution  and  contemplating 
the  men  who  have  worn  with  pardonable  pride  "the 
splash  of  red,"  the  least  that  each  "Legionnaire"  can 
do  is  to  endeavor  to  maintain  the  prestige  of  the 
Order  by  becoming  more  worthy  of  the  membership 
he  enjoys. 

This  compilation  is  made  in  the  earnest  desire  that 
each  person  named  herein  as  he  notes  his  colleagues 
and  considers  the  services  or  achievements  that 
earned  this  distinction  will  realize  more  fully  the 
great  honor  that  has  been  conferred  upon  him  and 
see  how  fully  and  promptly  France  shows  her  esteem 
and  appreciation.

This  Directory  includes  the  names  of  Legionnaires 
of  France  who  were  living  at  the  time  the  manu- 
script went  to  the  printer.  An  exception,  however, 
was  made  in  the  case  of  officers  decorated  for  serv- 
ices during  the  War  who  succumbed  to  wounds 
received  in  action  or  died  subsequently,  weakened  no 
doubt,  by  strain  or  exposure  incident  to  their  war 
duties.  The  inclusion  of  their  names  is  intended  to 
augment,  if  it  be  possible,  our  appreciation  of  their 
supreme  sacrifice. 

In  preparing  the  material  for  this  work  the  Com- 
piler has  been  greatly  aided  by  Major  William  S. 
Biddle  who  furnished  the  names  of  Officers  of  the 
U.  S.  Army  who  had  been  decorated  and  kindly 
revised  the  list  to  make  additions  and  changes  in 
addresses.  Most  helpful  assistance  in  preparing  the 
sketches  was  rendered  by  Mr.  Nils  G.  Radhe, 
Research  Assistant,  National  Geographic  Society.
